On the LES, I like Noah's Deli, it's a deli, not a destination restaurant, but the french-fried sweet potatoes are heavenly. Noi Dui, an excellent, Italian bistro, is a mile north of you, at 67th, or so.

I had the spinach quesedilla (more like a crunchy burrito) from GA Health Bar, and lentil soup for lunch. Very good! Also, Noi Due for dinner again :)Will try Cafe Classico and Taam Tov as well on this trip.Thanks for the tips!
